High-school graduate Emaline is working at her family beach rental business for the summer. Things get complicated when her estranged birth father pulls his offer to pay for college and arrives in town with her young half-brother. Exploring both family and romantic relationships, this quintessential Dessen novel sets Emaline's time of self-discovery in a summer of sunny days and warm nights filled with promise.
